    Braithwait looked a heck of a player to me. And Fabio is still tidy.

    Absolutely ran the game.

    The fact that we kept their sheer quality at bay for most of the game is a huge positive.

    Braithwaite would walk into any side in the division. Bit of an obnoxious **** too which is something we lack.

    Agree about Braithwaite; I thought he was their MoM.

    Braithwaite and Downing were a class above anything we have, and I mean no disrespect to our players at all.

    Assombalonga took his only sniff well too.

    Braithwaite just behind their front line, all over the place, making things happen picking up any second balls and bringing players in.

    If the ball got beyond Braithwaite then Leadbitter was picking it up, calming things down and playing the simple forward pass to kick the attack off again.
